The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel

2.0

I was hoping for a more two sided argument, but the book seemingly just lays out softball questions to Christian Apologists. Asides from a few half hearted at best: "hey some people say, there doesn't seem to be any serious time given to really understand any counter arguments. So I think this seems to be a book written for firm believers, and I'm not sure how it will win any converts. If winning over skeptics was a goal then I don't think this is a strong book for the task. I think this book mainly serves to try to iron out some relatively minor details that Christians may be contemplating because a lot of the arguments are based on the belief that much of what is recorded is true and to be believed so the bible is often cited as source. I suppose this logic is OK if that premise is used since this is not "The Case For Christianity" or "The Case For the Bible" but really to believe much of the arguments here, one has to have a firm belief that what is written in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John largely a true and an accurate account of actually historical events.
